Yeah but that's like me being a competent crossing guard. Actually, that's not a fair comparison - a crossing guard has some degree of accountability. Being on City Council is an absolutely jackwad job. They really never have to do shit, except to meet and talk/pontificate. And when they do meet to decide shit, they completely screw it up - every time, but no one cares because they live in a city that will rubber-stamp them because of their political leanings.
Lumpy's job is uber-easy because she's the "underdog" lone "conservative." She can take stances and put out lots of tweets and take pictures of herself hard at work, so hard that her poor sleepin' daughter has to use the floor. It's right up her alley. Can you think of one single thing she's done in the last year that's resulted in some benefit for the city? Meeting in front of 15 hungry pizza-gulpers and bellowing about needing more police money is so easy my old cocker spaniel could've done it, even better. Or run some bizarre tweet-o-movie about calling out to some homeless person to demonstrate her "care." What a hoot! And when the votes actually do need to come, it's a walk in the park for our "lone maverick" who will usually be outvoted on every single thing - but hey she's the underdog. And the fact that she's outnumbered almost always 9-1 makes it easy for her not to get too big for her britches - if she parades some cause and it goes down the shitter 9-1, she looks idiotic. So it's very easy for her right now, she just exists, throws out some public service tweets, and enjoys the fruits of being the lone hunter.
I guess what you're saying is she hasn't FitLump'd herself into public ridicule, but that was never going to happen, and that's like congratulating me on walking through a hallway without throwing up and saying what a good job I've done. She hasn't done shit, not one single thing, except pad her narcissism. But I guess in comparison to the nuclear trainwreck that's been the Adler-Casar train to incompetent hell, she looks good. Right now this is perfect for her - nothing to answer for, being the "member with a cause" underdog, and showing us how terrific she is.
